It is 7:42 on a dark evening/night. On the National Highway coming from Nasik back to Mumbai. I've just crossed Kasara.
The road is reasonably crowded, the usual mix of cars speeding past trundling trucks and crawling containers.
On the side of the road, on a scooter, a young girl/lady, riding alone, merrily.
I do a double take - a girl, alone, on a highway, on a scooter.
Maharashtra! 👍
And then I scold myself silently. The very fact that I noticed it, thought it unusual enough to be worthy of comment... Even in Maharashtra, there is still a whole lot more to be done before a sight such as this becomes "normal"
But I guess Maharashtra will show me this can/will happen.
